Question about meeting at your storage unit.. How do you work out the gate access? Do you meet them out front and squeeze 2 vehicles through the gate? Do you pack your vehicle with your product and bring it out front?

If the appt is at 3 pm I arrive at 2:45 and go through the gate to my unit. I locate the item and leave my car at the unit. I then walk to the office and wait for the person to come at 3 pm. The mgrs there know me well...I have had the unit for years and get a bargain rate. I often give them items that I get in bulk. In other words we have a good relationship.

When the person gets there I code them through the gate and tell them how to get to the unit. I walk through a shortcut and meet them at the unit. I show (and usually sell) the item and then I either leave with them or walk to the gate if I have other work to do. I have to punch them out.

I already told you guys I lie all the time! Or did I just lie about that statement? 

You beat me to it !

"I lie about everything. Even about lying."

Last Tuesday I bought a locker. I put up 14 ads on Craigslist. Today I had 3 left. I don't leave my phone number on the ad. I say to respond with whatever catch phrase in the subject line. If I don't see that catch phrase in the subject line, I don't respond with my phone number.

That's a good return ! (11 sales in a week.)  Very good!   I have had an antique on Clist for 10 months. Buyer coming today from 40 miles away and the price will stay firm !

To have "gotten" $20/$10 for a monkey doll ?  Outstanding !

Catch phrase.....Cassowary...who'd have thunk that one up ! 

You put your phone number on CL? That's a bold move!

That's the only way I get contact from prospective buyers. There is a checkbox that prevents them from sending you email and I check that.

Been doing the phone number approach for over 9 years now and haven't had a problem. Most of the time they get an answering machine...my home number. I don't want to get calls to my cell phone.  Then I make an appt to meet them at my storage unit which is only a mile from my home. I think in all these years I've only had maybe 5 no shows.

Also, when I get a message left on my machine and it has an out of town area code, I always ask them what city they're in to rule them out if it's 90 miles away...though I had one guy drive 400 miles for an item (one way).  Knowing they come from a city that is say 30 miles away helps to keep the price firm...are they going to drive that far (one way) and then dicker over $5 or $10 off on a $50 item?  Hasn't happened yet.

Two new episodes of the original Storage Wars are airing March 18th but it looks like the show will go on without Dave Hester. Will it still draw huge ratings? We'll see.

That's funny. From what I read on A&E's page for Storage Wars they showed some old episodes, but no new ones.
One would think THEY would be promoting new shows.

What are the episode names and city locations you say are new episodes?  What is your source?

Not a single sale.    Nothing..

Well, at least you tried. If you hadn't you would never had known if it would have worked or not.

The product I'm thinking about has six people doing it on Etsy and a similar number on eBay, so I have SOME hope, but if it doesn't work, it works locally anyway.
